a moment of beautiful – new friends
the space- a shelf in an antique store
the beautiful- creating a collection of two

I took a break from writing this week, to take a drive to the Woodstock area, for lunch with my husband and to check out any antique stores we saw. We visited one store and I saw what I wanted the minute I walked in.
It was a little china salt and pepper shaker, a little Dutch boy, I think, from the bit of research I did on eBay.
He looked familiar, so I paid a dollar (a dollar!) and he came home with me. At home, I was so happy to find that he ‘matches’ another little Dutch figurine I have had for a long time. My figurine is not a salt and pepper shaker, but he is the same size and gloss. My son would say they belong to the same ‘universe’.
It is so much fun to meet new friends.
